Well, recently returned from a Christmas Cruise in the Caribbean! So no tractor time!
Hope to get back to doing some work and mods on the tractor soon. Really enjoyed the 80 degree weather everyday and just relaxing and of course not having to do anything but enjoying the food, drinks and fun with many new cruise friends! Cruised out of Puerto Rico on NCL. But back to reality and the cooler weather on the mainland of America. We had a Great Time but NO PLACE like Home!

The smiles say it all!
We are leaving Monday for a 15 day island hopping trip to the Caribbean. I'm getting tractor time in now to tide me over till we return!

I‘m sure it was awesome. We’re planning a 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise (Baja side ) in March and really looking forward to it.

Good for y’all. (y) (y) (y)

Looks like you had fun.

We have friends that are “professional cruise takers”…..I think they go 3-4 times a year. Some people love them.

I wish I liked cruises, but sadly the only way to get me to go on another cruise ship, is to load my balls in a cannon, and fire them onto the Lido deck.;)

Same here. My brother enjoys them and keeps asking me to join him on their family cruises. No way. When I asked what he did to keep occupied for a week on a boat the answer was "relax". To me that's utter boredom. When I "relax" its maybe for an hour or two. Got to keep doing things, got to keep moving!

I'm going to find out. We decided to do a 4 day later this winter. I don't love the idea but the wife really wants to go on a cruise. I like exploring. At least there is a full fitness center in board. That'll occupy me a couple hours each morning until she wakes up 😆

I’m right there with you guys!(y)



I like to scuba dive, and since I refuse to be "treated like a terrorist” by TSA, I don’t fly anymore either, therefore we drove to the boat, so I was able to bring my gear and got a "few dives" in.

So there were some (3) bright spots.

Other than that, I basically “drank myself sober” and contemplated jumping overboard,…... just for something to do. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:;)

But if you like to “sit and relax” and get "dressed up for dinner", and "go to shows” then a cruise is definitely for you. Our friends love them, thats for sure.

Unfortunately for me, those three things rank right up there with "root canals” and “colonoscopy's” on my list of “favorite things to do”…….:unsure::ROFLMAO:
